most Pattering hopes, his presumption is quite:ooA, Ile compares himself to Tamerlane and Nadir Sash': sokramen, 9 (21) aULY. The Prince Royal has sent a courier from Mirza to his brother in-law, Alaiar Khan, to desire' him to save the appearances of a first aggression. It has conserpiently been decided in a meeting held at the Minister's, to propose to me to terminate the differ ences respecting the frontiers according to the stipulations of the treaty of Gulistan, giving them a meaning which I could not adopt. . This resolution being adopted, Alaiar Khan transmitted to me the annexed note, passing over the proposal I bad made him on the stb, and without mentioning the resumption of the negoeis, tions in a frontier town, to which he had before Assent e d. 11Iy answer is also inclosed.* I have sent a copy to Aboul- Hassan Khan, that he may coonnunieate thq contents to the Schab. SULTAXIEII 9, (21) JULY. Mr. Willock, the English Charge d'Affaires, came to see me this evening, and told me the Schah has sent to him to ask him to speak to me on the means of avoiding a rupture between the tons States, and that he had chosen him, because he could not strut any of his Aliuisters, who were divided in opinions and interests. Mr. Willock added, he had charged himself with this message, not officially, but from his personal wish to see the dif ferences between Russia and Persia arranged ; and that before entering on particulars, he asked my permission to speak on the object of his visit. I answered that I received his proposal with infinite pleasure, and I assured him that the policy of the Emperor, was too frank and too upright for me to conceal my proceedings from the agent of an allied, power, and that I accepted his good offices without admitting his intervention. After saying that this was his own meaning, and after along discussion, he proposed to me to take with me to Tiflis a Persian negotiator, whose pro ceedings I should second, and who should endeavour to obtain from General Yerinaloff the evacuation of the coast of the Goktcha, during the next winter, which should be employed in arranging the points in dispute ] respecting the frontiers. I immediately assented to this proposal, which Mr. Willock thinks will afford the Schah a pretext to stop the march of the Tr oops, and, which, besides, is absolutely conformable to the spirit of the note which I have written to-day to Alaiar Khan. The English officers and serjeants, who exercise the Persian troops, have received orders from Mr. Willock not to follow them, but to remain at Tauris. Mr, Cormick, the Prince's English Physician, has also refused to accompany him, and Abbas Mirza will have no Europeans in his army, except an Italian, named Bernardi, who has served as a subaltern in the French artillery, and, who, during the 100 slays, was an officer, and perhaps an Ex-Sergeant of the English Artillery, now in the pay of the Prince, and consequently independent of the Charge d'Affaires of his Government. Mr. Wilk& intends to follow the Court to Ardsbil, but declar ing to the Shah that if he should approach our frontiers nearer than that point, he should be obliged to leave him. SULTANICII, JULY 11 (23). The proposal of Mr. Willock, mentioned in my preceding, had just been acceded to by the Schell, anti the Kaimacan was chosen to accompany me to Tiflis, when an unexpected event defeated all the plans for an arrangement. This is the revolt of the, Khan of Talyche, who, after having massacred the little Russian Garrison at Arkevan, asked assistance of Persia to make himself muter of Lenkoran. Alaiar Khan has taken advantage of this event to influense the Schah, who has resolved on war; and sets out to-morrow for Ardebil, where he will arrive on the 18th (30th) of this month With all t he troops in the camp of Sultanieh. This determination having been taken, I have every thing ready for my aepirture. TAUktS, JULY 20, (Atm. I.) On arriving at Thais, I learnt that couriers whom I dispatch td on the 2d (14th), for Sultanich were detained at Altar. I found il. Ivanoff and the Dragoman Chah Nazaroff, attached to our Mission, under arrest, and guarded in their respective lodgings. Two couriers sent to me from Tißis have also been stopped, and their papers seized. All these shameful proceedings are by order fl Abbas Mints. I have demanded my papers, which have been just given up to me. M. Ivanoff and Chah Nazaroff are set at liberty, but the Hotel of the mission is surrounded by guards, and nobody dares to go out without being accompanied by come Soldiers with their arms. TIFLIS 12 (24) fig n. I arrived on the 4th (16) August, at Erivan, where the &whir 'caused me to be detained, under various pretexts, till the 9th (20), and afterwards let me know that he could not permit me to join the Russian troops, but that he would have me escorted to the fim .. tiers of Turkey; and if! did not agree to thiti lie could not.assign hY shy ether route but through our Tartar province at Kazah, fidelity of which at that time was at least suspicious. I was warne d at the same time that the delay which I experienced arose f,l)m t he measures which the Sardar was taking to plunder my h „ l a gg"ge, and t o se i ze on my pe rs on as soon as we should be one day's journey beyond the frontiers of Persia; and I was informed tit the sane time who the individuals were that were commissioned to execute these outrages. During the discussions concerning my departure, Mirza Ismael, ntY Mehmander, received orders from Alaiar Khan to detain me at Erivan till further orders, under the specious pretext that it rues necessary I should wait for the answer which it was intended to s nake to my note of 9th (21st) July. I protested against so manifest a violation of the law of nations, !exiting both to Abbas Mina and to the principal Minister; and 1 informed the English Mission of the situation in which I was. During this time every day of my detention was marked by so me new insult ; it was insinuated to me from Alaiar Khan, that the wife of the Khan of Talyche having been kept as a hostage at t he time of hi s revo l t, I should be detained at Erivan till the should be set at liberty, but that I might ransom myself by giving bra 6 the Chief Mi n i s t er m y plate, and the presents not yet distri ed which I had in my possession. , ' III Y endeav oure d, b u t i n va in, to bribe my Dragomans. The "Wu desired my Milunandar to require of one the payment of a Parcel of cotton which he had sent to Russia before the commence ment of hostilities, or to keep some persona of my suite as hostages. Being unable to bribe my Dragomans, the Sardar,expresited his "!tention to keep them by force, as being both natives of the pro vince of Karabag, which he already considered as a conquered pro "race, and a part of Persia. 1 should write a volume if I were to give your Excellency an 4 eenunt of all the vexatious attempts which I have been oblige d to tesist, an d to which the inventivegenius of my jailors every day gave * new form, but always with a view to extort money , or effects. . , teeing the time pus away, and the answers to my letters not "in, and learning that the English mission had left the camp the .Schap to go to meet Mr. Macdonald, I persuaded my Mels ""ander to Oppose the pretensions of the Sardar of Erivan, and to musts to th e p r i nc i pa l Mi n i ster , w h ose crea t u re he is, that toulsidering the antipathy of th e Schist' to the war, the enem i e s of I .4 4i i a e r w K ol l l ta u t i t would seize the first opportunity that a doub tful furnish, to ruin him, if he did not think before hand n i e r , 44 Pe t ° 4 and the only mean t , to conclude it on advantageous terms in sste „,„,nr i . d ePart as soon as possible, because I was personally Tei e ~ our Cabinet to an accommodation. eau* auctieed 'lays' detentio n ~ tud ; , and I owe to it my liberation, after 25 van, which ha lt eeft ,.: } tt unhealthy place in the environs of Eri . both master., and tterelj ny sff r t !d all the individuals of the mission, ant s , „, ,i," Lea. ontrit,Tt:teciing the physician and hie assist kr, and have ~ let b low, i :t:to w y has bean obliged to set as doc k:* c to assist the sick.

In tlis answer, the Persian Minister held out a hope of the acceptance of the proposal to negdciate in in a frontier town, and sayi not a .word of six weeks' flagrant hostilities and open war; of the violation of our territory by an armed foree ; of the invasion of our provinces beyofid Eliza bathpol ; of the insurrection excited in all the neighbouring coun tries among the Mahometan subject* of the Emperor. It would be difficult to imagine a more flagrant instance of bad faith. We received last night the Paris Papers of Wednes day, and the Etoile dated Thursday. These papers do not contain any confirmation or contradiction of the conflicting accounts given by different journals on the preceding day, which we mentioned yesterday, of the arrival of the news of the acceptance of theiati matum at Moscow, on the one hand, and of the cross ing of the Pruth by the Russian Army on the other. Reports are mentioned from Frankfort on the Oder, of an armistice having been concluded between the Russians and Persians : but they seem to rest on no authority.—The following are the only paragraphs worth extracting : (From the Etoile. PARIS, OCT. 31.—Already the approach of the Legis lative Session produces its accustomed effect in calming the minds of the public, by inspiring a very natural con fidence in some, and impressive involuntary respect in others. The friends of order resume their confidence, the radicals themselves are awed, and the imposture of the Journals disappear before the truth of the Tribune. The Gazette of Napoli di Romania announces, that the steam-packet Perseverance,, Captain Hastings, arrived at that port on the night of th 14th September. The Journal des Debats, in alluding to the mercantile letter from Brodi,- which mentions that the Russian army crossed the Pruth on the 9th of October, observes, " although the same news was in circulation en the Ex change, and although the Jewish houses at Brodi, from their intimate connexion with Odessa, may have facilities in re ceiving news from Bessarabia, we cannot believe that the passage of the Prutir took place at the date mentioned, but it is very possible that the order to pass should be sent to Moscow as soon as the Emperor was informed of the pretended acceptance of the Ultimatum, by which the Turks hope to gain time." DRESDEN, OCT. 19.—Some letters from Cassel speak of measures contemplated by the great Courts of Germany, for placing under guardians, a Sovereign of the second order, who has several times attempted the life of his son and his wife.

Letters and Papers from Mexico were received yesterday up to the 26th of August.' They contain no political news whatever. The So/ of the 26th of that month, states that the Treaties of Alliance and Friend ship, concluded at Panama, were signed by the De puties from Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru. The absence of Deputies from Chili, Alta Peru, and Buenos Ayres, was much regretted. The letters received yesterday by the Lord &d -rama, Jamaica packet, from Bogota, are all of an old date. Their contents, as relating to the commercial and financial come of Colombia, are of a very gloomy character. The continued shocks of earthquakes, which had occurred at intervals during several weeks at Bogota, had occasioned damage which was esti mated at 2,000,000 dam. The Government ex hibited symptoms of weakness. It appeared even to .have been unable to bring to justice the perpetrator of a most horrible murder, which was committed un the 15th . July. The unhappy. victim was the American Consul from Santa Martha. He was found lifeless in bed, with his head nearly severed from his body, and five dagger Wounds ; the depositions all bore against a priest, who, inflamed by jealousy, had been beard re peatedly swearing lie would have him murdered. The Priest was arrested, but had been set at liberty—the Authorities tearing to prosecute him, because of his sacerdotal character. .This wretch is said to be Prior of the Convent of San Juan de Dios. We have devoted a considerable space in our Paper of this day to the publicatiOn of the further letters ad dressed to the Editor of the Times, by Mr. ELLICE, Mr. BOWING, and Mr. HUME, relative to their transactions in the Greek Loans ; and are prevented by want of space from giving to-day a supplementary letter from Mr. HUME to the Editor of the Morning Herald, endeavouring to induce him to vindicate the injury done to his character by the accusation made against him. We have given these letters -at length, on the just principle of " Audi alteram porton ;" and having placed the whole correspondence on this sub ject before our readers, in order that they may form their own opinion, we shall confine ourselves at present to the simple analysis of their contents. Mr. ELLicz's present letter does little more than his former one'. It repels the accusations made against him- by a simple denial of the facts, except of his folly, in having mixed himself up with Greek concerns ; and as the charges made against him are of a totally diffe rent complexion from those against Mr. BOWRING and Mr. HUME, we are willing to let the matter rest where it is, as far as Mr. 'ELLICE is concerned. Mr. BOWRING'S letter is no answer to the accuse satiens made against him, but contains a string of charges against the Greek Deputies, with which we have nothing to do at present. We must therefore wait for his next letter, before a final judgment can be passed upon his conduct. Mr. flumes letter, on the other hand, enters fairly into all the facts of the case, as applying to him ; and although we could have wished that copies had been furnished in all cases, instead of occasionally extracts only ; still, upon the whole, it may be looked upon as a st r ai ght -forward statement o f his transactions in the matter upon that statement we are quite vvillin i g that tl: and e publi c o • pinion of the Hon ourable Member e conduct should be formed. The facts admitted by Mr. Holz are—that in July ' 1824 ' 14 ! Mr, IfirmE; for the ma n being a Commissioner management of the fi rst Greek Loan, took or purchased 10 ,000 Greek Seri --that p hisproceedings as such were soon after, •• Deputies, i nflumicedi in the °pint consequence of such an interested inot d i • ves _tnat in 'MI of the Greek tined to sell his Stock--that accusation ci he eton to —that the Greek D • eput ordered Mr. O'BRIE4 t e S withdrew their insinuations , and implored him not t do so on account of the Sell, but to hold the Scrip Government of Greece.-.." think- Ing it unjust that he shoal(' be tt sufferer by any mis understanding with them`' --that he thought .so too, and was therefore disposed to agree to what he con sidered only a just settlement—that having omitted to recall the order to Mr.O'BRIEN, the sale was arranged, by its being taken for the Greek Government at 13 discount, (the price of the Scrip in the market being 15i to 15 discount,)—that, however, he then wrote a letter on the 29th July, 1824, to Mr. O'BRIEN, to say, " that though he was willing to make a sacrifice of 1,3001. yet, as he had been compelled to do so by the conduct of the Greek Deputies, he considered that it would be only just to allow it to go to the Greek Government at par." That the Stock was sold, and he received the sum he had paid, deducting the 1,3001. That from this time (July) to the end of November, nothing further was done, although, whenever the sub ject was mentioned, he did not hesitate to express a very decided opinion that he had suffered this loss most unjustly through the means of the Deputies, and that no dependence was to be placed on their word or writing—that at the end of November the offer of the Deputies being renewed, he accepted it, viewing it as a matter of right rather than of favour ; the more so as the Greek Stock bad risen to about par.—That on the 16th December he received the said sum of 1,300/. with 541. interest thereon, for the time he had been out of the money—and that now the Honourable Member is willing to submit the matter to two impar tial ioersons, and that if they think he ought to refund the 1,3001. with interest thereon, up to the present time, he will do so ! ! We believe we have thus given a faithful analysis of Mr. HUME'S own statement of the whole transaction, and at present we shall only add, that we believe the Hon. Gentleman could not find Iwo men in the whole kingdom who would not declare that he ought to refund every farthing which be thus received from the Greek Deputies. In the present stage of the charge upon which Mr. JoitN WILK s, Jun., was brought up before the LORD MAYOR yesterday, we shall abstain from making any observations. The Honourable Member's progress in public notoriety has been brilliant, 'but it may be short-lived. A contemporary Journal, in its number of yester day, has published a letter signed signed " A Bar rister of 30 years standing," and addressed to Lord REDESDALE, on the subject of what the Jour nal in question calls " Masked Legislation," or the prac tice of inserting in Acts of Parliament covert expres sions, to obtain indirectly the same power which di rectly the Legislature would not grant. be instance quoted is the new Annuity Act, 3 Geo. IV. c. 02., which is said by its crafty ,wording, to overthrow legal decisions of several years standing. Although we are fully aware that the reprehensible and disgraceful practice here alluded to, is an every day practice whilst the Legislature is sitting, we are sorry to be obliged to add, that the example quoted by the Barrister of 30 years standing does not fit, for the Act in question does not overthrow any legal decisions whatever, fur ther than is usually the case where an old law is re pealed, and a new one made ; and if, therefore, the objection raised on this ground to the Act in question, is of any validity at all, it would cease to forbid any further repeal of any old law, however impolitic, or however unjust. This Barrister also says, that the Act in question was founded on falsehood, because the recital stating that doubts were entertained whe ther it were necessary that the Christian names of wit nesses should be inserted at length in the Memorials, was not true, inasmuch as no such doubts did exist. To show that such doubts did not exist, the Barrister then quotes the case of Cheek v. Jefferies, in which the Court : held, without argument, that such additions 'were necessary. Now, we ask this Bar rister, whether the fact that the Court was called upon to decide the case above quoted, does not prove that such doubts did exist prior to that case ? The Act only says, that doubts have been entertained, and then because the Legislature deemed the decision of the Court not consistent with justice, although supported by law, it proceeds to remove the law on which the decision was founded, and then to declare how such leases shall be dealt with in future. , The Barrister is therefore wrong in his argument at every point ; so wrong as to proclaim himself the defeated granter of an annuity, and either no Barrister at all, or one who has paid hut little attention to his legal studies. Not only is the Barrister wrong in Ins argument, he is wrong in his facts; the Act was not smuggled through either House of Parliament • it was the Bill of the present Master of the Rolls, brought in by him, passed on his advocacy, and we believe, we may add, originated with him. The Bill, indeed, did not even pass sub silentio ; a debate or two arose upon it, and so careful was the author of the Bill to prevent any unjust operation of his new law, that clauses were added expressly saving all eases then pending before any Court of competent jurisdiction; but very rightly and properly protecting annuities already existing, unless proceedings were taken to set them aside on or be fore the 31st May, 1822. We beg leave to add, for the information of this Barrister, that the Act he quotes is the 3d Geo. IV. c. 92. not the sth as he supposes. This practice of making legislative enact ments, is in truth, one of rare occurrence in what are called public Bills, but in private Bills is universally adopted ; and numberless are the conferences which take place between counsel and the solicitors of a Bill, as to the best way of cheating the penetration of those persons who have taken upon th emse l v es the task of looking into drafts of private A c t s su bmitted to the consideration of each branch o f th e Legisla ' Lto be learned in framing u re these ; jobs, is of the h uman b ra i n f or for warding, s that of wrapping u p obnoxious Powers in equ i voc al expression s; an d so success fully i i ii n g d e e n e i d ous the chief art has the art beau followed, that the practisers of it have always succeeded in lulling the most watchful vigi lance. In this manner powers have been granted to a little unto of jobbers, at once hostil e to the inte rests o f ' the district where they are put in force, and opposed to every principle of the British Constitution, posters which were a ministry to ask for them, would Is. cause them to be regarded with horror even by the Veriegt Tory of the .119u§9 of L : f rds ! , datio tending as s n of toenslave the country, and to sap e our liberties. To attempt to enumerate the itistarms.. q where this circumstance has occurred would be useless, further than to say, that any Turnpike Road Bill, or 13111 to incorporate a Joint Stock Company, will furnish more examples than one to the anxious inquirer into this ingenious art. When a power is thus indirectly oh= tained, the practice is to use it at first as cautiously as may be, withdrawing it for a time when it meets with decided opposition from an influential man, bat taking care never to abandon ,it in tote. By degrees, how ever, its whole effect is introduced, and in the course of time practice is allowed to give the wished-for con struction to the equivocal words that were used in the Act, in order to furnish out something like a founda tion on which the assumed authority may be supposed to rest. It is by these means that these equivocal words ob tain their force, for we are convinced that very few instances of masked legislation would stand the test of a Court of Law, if the question were raised at the very outset, and before practice long continued could be cited to support the construction which it is desired to put upon the words. The rights and powers which the promoters of Private Bills find it necessary thus covertly to obtain, must of necessity have something in the face of them exceedingly obnoxious, and being thus obnoxious, it is evident they can only be required in extreme cases. This is another circumstance which favors the deceit, and tells greatly to support a practice so disgraceful to the Legislature and so injurious to the public. Under the . present system of Legislation, it is utterly impracticable to prevent the occurrence of this evil, nor can we hope to see any very beneficial change in this respect take place, until a responsible officer gar Board, shall be appointed to overlook, and report to the Houses of Parliament, the nature and effect of every Private Bill that they are required to pass into law.— Independently of the very great advantage the public would derive from the appointment of such authority, by the prevention of masked legislation, it would be no small benefit, that by' such means one consistent method of legislation would be adopted, and one uni form set of words employed in every clause, having the same purpose in view, instead of leaving that mat ; ter, as now, to the choice of the person framing a Bill ; so that on looking through the statute book, we shall scarcely ever find similar objects effected, or similar powers Conferred by the same words. This is a mat ter of extreme importance, when we consider how the whole effect of one sentence may be changed by the introduction or omission of a single syllable, or even of a letter. The appointment of such an officer too, need not be attended with any additional charge to the public, inasmuch, as the duties might be per formed by some person in the Private Bill Office, or if that were impossible, the expence might be de frayed by imposing a fee on every private Bill brought into each House of Parliament for his remuneration ; an expellee of very little moment, when we consider the large sum the soliciting of a Private Bill now costs, and which, indeed, would be saved by rendering unnecessary all conferences with Counsel, directed to consider the best means of imposing on the Legisla ture by covert expressions. LATEST FROM JAMAICA. (From the Cork Southern Reporter, Oct. 31.) By the Three Sisters, Captain Langrishe, which arrived at thisfPort yesterday, direct from Jamaica, we have received Kings ton Papers to the 7th September inclusive, which are three days later data than those brought by the nail. We do not ti»d any thing in these papers worth extracting, with the exception of the destructive effect* of heiivy rainy that had fal. len, but upon what day is not Mated—nor do we find any refer ence to the occurrence in any of the previous numbers of the Courant to that from which we extract it. The courant copies the account front another paper, published at Kingston. KINGSTON, iiirr. 7. The rain and wind, we learn, were much more severe in the higher parts of the adjoining parishes than we experienced in this city. In the mountain districts the plantain treess were in many places blown down, and the ripe fruit script from the coffee trees. The roads in the higher parts of Lignenea are rendered impassable for travellers on horseback, they have sustained more injury than they did in the heavy rains of ISIS. In the lower parts of Liguauea, too, the roads are terribly cut up ; and we regret to state, that the bridge not long erected over Shoemaker's Gully, where so many fatal accidents formerly oceurred,, has sustained considerable injury, hut which, we hope, may soon be remedied. One of the abut. ments was carried away, and the workhouse negroes of that parish were promptly sent to clear away the rubbish, and prickly bush was placed on the bridge to prevent persons passing along it for fear of farther injury, and a foot track expeditiously made on one side of the bridge for the accommodation of passengers. The roads from Liguanea to Kingston, by the Spanish Town road, are also rendered impassable for chaises. Considerable injury has like wise been sustained to the Spanish Town road at the third mile stone.... Ch maid e. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twava Clock.
